Chapter 285: Chapter 285: So What If You Can Run on Walls? _1
Upon hearing the shout, everyone turned their attention to look downstairs.
They saw Ye Ming and Wang Yating getting out of an SUV.
The two were very close to each other, and Wang Yating seemed to have no guard up against him at all.
This single incident had already made the Falcon Squad feel unacceptable.
It was known that Wang Yating was a prized flower of the Martial Department, a goddess-level figure with both beauty and strength. On normal days, nobody could get anywhere near her.
However, Ye Ming’s proximity did not seem to make Wang Yating uncomfortable in the slightest.
This scene infuriated everyone watching.
"That bastard, getting so close to Sister Yating, he’s clearly trying to take advantage of her!"
"Xin Cheng, you were right, this Ye Ming is indeed a scumbag! A big pervert!"
"We’ve got to put him in his place later!"
Everyone was chiming in with their remarks. Although it was their first meeting with him, Ye Ming had already attracted a significant amount of hatred.
Little did they know, all of this was overheard by Ye Ming.
The distance between them was merely the height of six floors, but for Ye Ming, that was trivial. Such a short distance, he could clearly hear everything.
At that moment, he let out a chuckle, turning to Wang Yating beside him and said, "It seems like these team members have quite an issue with me, huh!"
"Huh?" Wang Yating was slightly startled and seemed a bit puzzled.
She looked up and saw a row of people standing neatly on the rooftop, all looking down at Ye Ming, none with the intention of coming down to greet him.
Wang Yating thought Ye Ming was referring to this.
After thinking for a moment, she explained, "Don’t take it to heart, my team members have just recently faced a setback, and they’ve only just adjusted their mindset!"
"We came second in a recent physical competency competition, and furthermore, our former Chief Instructor was transferred because of that. It was a huge blow to everyone, so it’s normal for them not to welcome you with open arms!"
"Give it some time, and they’ll come to understand," she continued.
Wang Yating spoke unhurriedly, "Of course, you will need to show a certain level of strength."
Ye Ming smiled indifferently, not concerned about it.
Curiously, he asked, "Why did you choose to station in a place like this?"
The abandoned building in front of them was quite an eyesore; surely the Falcon Squad wouldn’t lack even a proper training ground?
Yet, Ye Ming noticed that the abandoned building held hidden features; not only were there many infrared cameras, but there was also a lift on the side of the building.
These high-tech devices seemed out of place here.
Wang Yating continued to explain, "This is just one of our field operation bases, used to simulate high-rise rescues. Not far from here, there’s a real field base."
"Let’s head up; the team members must have been waiting for a while," she said.
After speaking, Wang Yating walked up to the lift and stood on it.
The lift wasn’t very big, just enough to accommodate one person at a time.
After Wang Yating boarded it, Razor immediately came over, greeted Wang Yating with a smile, and then took the lift down.
Seeing this action, Wang Yating immediately understood the intention.
This abandoned building didn’t have a complete staircase; usually, everyone would use the hoist platform to go up and down, or climb with ropes.
Now that the hoist platform was out of service, and without any climbing gear on him, it had become difficult for Ye Ming to reach the rooftop.
The challenge had already begun.
Wang Yating frowned, initially wanting to intervene, but then she thought, since Ye Ming was to become the Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad, he needed to show some capabilities to earn respect. Otherwise, how could he command authority?
Xu Xincheng watched everything unfold with a dose of schadenfreude, his heart brimming with joy. He had planned to teach Ye Ming a lesson using his own abilities, but he never expected someone to do it for him.
If the new Chief Instructor couldn’t even make it to the rooftop on his first day, it would indeed be a joke.
The other team members also looked at Ye Ming with teasing eyes, and some had even started placing bets, gambling that Ye Ming wouldn’t be able to make it up.
Ye Ming stood on the ground below and smiled indifferently.
The building in front of him had a full twelve stories, and for an ordinary person, it was impossible to ascend without external aid or stairs.
But for Ye Ming, it was a piece of cake.
With a slight bend in his knees, he leapt, astonishingly jumping the height of two floors directly.
Then, he landed smoothly on the second floor and repeated the process, leaping up to the fourth floor.
Following that was the sixth floor, then the eighth...
In the blink of an eye, Ye Ming had landed steadily in front of the crowd.
There was utter silence atop the rooftop. Everyone was disheveled in the wind, unsure of what to say.
They had intended to put Ye Ming in a difficult position, but he had taught them a harsh lesson with moves none of them could replicate.
Wang Yating furrowed her brows. Although she had witnessed Ye Ming’s capabilities at the Martial Department’s conference, the scene before her still surprised her.
Ye Ming looked calmly at the people before him and said, "That was supposed to be a test you had for me, wasn’t it? That’s only right."
"As your Chief Instructor, I should indeed have some distinct skills, otherwise, how can I win your respect?"
Ye Ming’s gaze swept over everyone,
Falcon Squad members were all dumbstruck, still intimidated by the extraordinary skills Ye Ming had displayed, with not a single person daring to speak up.
Razor’s face turned beet red as he swallowed hard.
He was somewhat regretful of the decision he had just made.
He had wanted to see Ye Ming make a fool of himself, but in the end, he didn’t witness that, becoming the joke himself instead.
"Uh, Instructor Ye, we didn’t mean it like that..."
Razor took two steps forward, intending to apologize to Ye Ming, but he was interrupted by Xu Xincheng from the side.
With a face full of disdain, he said, "It’s just climbing a wall, monkeys can climb walls and trees too, it doesn’t prove you have any real ability, at most it shows you’re slightly better than a monkey."
"If you want to be the Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad, being able to climb walls is not enough. When it comes to the battlefield, your little trick will only be good for running away, do you want to be a deserter?"
As soon as Xu Xincheng spoke these words, everyone around was shocked.
They looked at him with astonished eyes.
Why would this usually low-key and well-behaved rich young man suddenly become so extreme? And how could he dare to be so disrespectful after seeing Ye Ming’s skills?
Not only the members of Falcon Squad but also Wang Yating, watching from the side, frowned, showing displeasure at Xu Xincheng, and said in a low voice, "Xu Xincheng, what are you trying to do?"
